Every model is a relative truth based on a limited number of assumptions. And at present we reached the stage that most models only safely but in a tremendously complex way extend existing knowledge in tiny steps.
This model is AND a simple huge jump AND in different direction. Nevertheless it uses proven concepts out of physics.
That gives a relative truth like a wheel being round. Although the brilliant concept wheel is outdated. It 'eats' energy and it's not much use on rough terrain. The air cushion concept as used in hoovercrafts is much more promising. Only automobiles got billions of dollars research funding, and the younger concept 'air cushion' a couple of millions.
A wheel being round doesn't bother most 'standby' people or researchers. It makes transporting on 'flat' surfaces easier, and everybody wants to move,.
Sense Movies may be seen as a brilliantly folded wheel, a Memory Track with Pictures of Reality, and connected begin and end.

This model of the brain physically sees couples of neurons either as free ready for use alive pixels or as minute parts of in HUGE life length connected living movies floating in some flexible clay-like brain soup (sticky stuff by insiders called 'neuroglia' or 'nerve glue'), bagged in some sort of skin.
Like bags full of movies. And to my knowledge surgeons exactly found such heads stored with history.

Off course such living pixels need food to stay alive and grow, and that's why there is also an abundance of flexible 'pipes': life supporting blood veins, transporting oxygen and sugar. Broken blood streams make opening skulls of living beings is such a messy affair. Synapses are just seen by me as tiny corridors extending from the dendrites of neurons for connection to others.

Robots can already beat humans in things like speed, force, etcetera, but one has to admit for at least the next age not in the field of 'intelligence'. These artificial brains get too big when they even want to come close to brains. And they still are too slow, and consume way too much energy.

Fighting between humans and androids for the next age is still slapstick
between gigantic Neanderthal like skyscraper-size beings and mini sized two-legged beings with a complex integrated mind
A new version David and Goliath.

That will give nasty collisions, but traffic will proceed as normal.

You realize a thing like this when at present you see a piano concert in which a tiny genius of only 10 years old plays Mozart like many adults still can't. And he is not a 'savant', but as well likes pop music and sex. Because just like Neanderthals ages ago robots at the moment lack enough fantasy combined with the skills and the speed to perform very complex tasks. They are just lucky not to be in war with humans and only to be asked for simple skill tournaments. Robots are forced to do sports that don't ask for subtle skills, like a brute force variant of Sumo wrestling.

It is very well possible that large numbers of tracks of a brain movie are redundant. Brains are in the first place built to be reliable and only in the second place to be efficient, but anyway they are awfully complex. For every sense there are as many tracks as the brain has connected sense areas. And what became recorded over the ages gradually grew in complexity, since say 700 years decreased in variety, and also worldwide got more and more monotonous.

Impression3

First let me say this, and certainly without any arrogance. Sometimes a renewed overview by a dedicated complete outsider is quite refreshing and useful in any research field. Although wakeful I'm really terribly impressed by the knowledge gathered in the young and 'explosive' science Brain Neurology. I was especially surprised about the advances made in growing new body parts and in transplanting brains. BUT these advances are NOT based on understanding, but on USING the enormous powers of the brain.

Many energy explosions tend to be directed and by chance their shockwaves bury other concepts under thick layers of dust. After 'dusting' this can lead to suddenly uncovered new and promising concepts.

Knowledge is a shape of energy too, only stored in an accessible way.

Brain Neurology and modern medicine in general acts like knowledge bombs.

In my view there is a good chance that the very basics of our brain are astonishingly simple, comparable to chips in computers. Because during evolution on the planet earth many complex beings developed by further development of structures consisting only of extremely simple prefabricated units. That made me think of the way of limiting complexity as when producing fractals in math (using fractal engines), i.e. repetitive use of simple rules resulting in dazzlingly complex results.

Seen purely logically this model possesses all the essences of a digital computer. Only it seems neurons might have not only 2 but 10 or more states. That's even better, this property makes that human brains can be much smaller then equally performing digital computers. But I leave elaborating this obvious idea to mathematicians. In the first half a my math study though I explored models with growing number of states, and found unimaginable sizes resulting in amazing complexity by simplicity. It took me two months to show that my teacher had made a logic error in calculating the size of the model for N=3!. But my report only took 3 pages. My teacher had a hard time in getting me a good mark, though I never again thought that hard.
Making this website is fun in comparison.

Monotony
I can vividly imagine Eskimos dancing in trance on clips by Michael Jackson or by Madonna. And I wouldn't be surprised by tribes in Africa fighting fanatically about the decision to drink either Coke or Pepsi, heated by commercials. But though I admire both mentioned artists, their worldwide success is not the result of a growing complexity. They'll have to agree that this broad success only shows increasing conformity and growing commercialization. 

Variety
A small modest animal like a chameleon can 'translate' visual emotions that are part of its 'mood' (sense mixture) in a palette of various colors. That exactly shows that sense experiences can be reproduced one way or another.

Every time a chameleon for instance is in fighting mood he chemically triggers parts of his body to show bright fighting colors that humans perceive as yellow, red, etcetera. In this way these little alert animals are far more advanced than the almost eradicated American Red Indians who had to rely on painting skills and on trying to masquerade mean.

Allow me to use a page to score one point about the society built around Western science. This one of many worlds of fantasy is full of sympathetic people, and SOME of them really try hard to learn from their personal version of history, but IN ESSENCE general behavior didn't change much after the lessons inherent in two world wars. Maybe science should realize more the terribly important role that is has in the developing and executing of wars. In past times wizards created spells to weaken the enemy, but they were not awfully influential. In WWII they appeared to have 'progressed' to creating atom bombs that were able to wipe away the other camp.

Without guys like Werner von Braun and money sharks like IBM a dangerous psychopath like Hitler would have had much less threat. And additionally you should realize that some government force in the U.S. kept Von Braun away from the military court of law. Von Braun was the responsible scientist behind the German V2 rockets in WW II. For lesser crimes enough people were sentenced to death.

And thousands of sharks and whales would have appreciated the same forgiving treatment 

 

Hitler thought that he represented the German race, and Von Braun thought that he spoke for science or for all of humanity. One of them was at least voted for.

I won't judge about Von Braun who before he could decently speak English already was made head of NASA, and neither about Einstein who initiated scientific research for the first atom bombs.

Einstein would later describe his spontaneous offer to help the U.S. president Franklin Delano Roosevelt in this mission to win WWII as the biggest mistake of his life

Both Soviet Russia and the U.S. scooped up German top-scientists on their way to victory in Berlin. Mislead top-scientists easily can make an enormous difference, because 99% of humans are as ammunition of evolution merely followers.

 Like any new model should, my model uses known research, and also leaves room for alternative views on things. My one and only intention was to create a much simpler model than the existing dominant one. This should be a new motivation to try to research brain functions that use more complexity.  Only trying to attain that wanted simplicity forced me to use known concepts in an unusual way.

But anyway just in order to be accepted any model should at least be equal in general performance to existing models. I show that this new model is, in to me known cases, consistent with the existing dominant concept. I.e. I simulate 'continuity' in science, by only making a relatively small unintuitive jump in thought.

Most articles that I found on the subject of brain neurology breathed the atmosphere of impressing by suggesting that they were made with help of mighty spells

I.e. they were mathematical, used undefined difficult words, presumed knowledge of implicit models etc. All in all, they were detailed and almost appeared to forbid entering to outsiders, even to someone like me who used to be a modest math wizard, and a good amateur in both physics and chemistry.

Once there were times that practicing science in mystical ways used to be enough to be burned at the stakes. But in those times being a scientist (wizard) still in general by politics was given a low social status.

Formal Scientific articles without doubt were only meant for other still active wizards, and those might be expected to be familiar with the most recent top 100 of popular spells. One wizard from the same period may understand another, but WHAT if a pensioned wizard comes along from another culture? Using a dated top 100 of his own culture he might rightfully interpret the spells as being nonsense and thus be incapable to recognize the mighty scientific talents owned by their users.

In the time of King Arthur most wizards used to be wise persons, open for critical suggestions. What happened to wisdom that scientists wearing white coats mostly only evoke a carefully cultured respectful silence?

   

 

No harm meant, but playing wizard was also used by a well-known semi-religious American fascist organization, and for the same purpose of creating fear and trying to be impressive.

Off course surely formal science doesn't aim at evoking fear, but sure it as well creates distance and tries to look impressive. Is that method in essence awfully different from ones used for totally different purposes? A chameleon uses bright colors to trigger opponents to show submissive behavior, scientists in general do the same by using mighty spells.

It may seem totally unconnected but a similar attitude mid 20^th century resulted in abstracting so far from real society that it became possible to drop nuclear bombs killing thousands of people, ONLY as a message of terror. The first bomb said in thundering voice: I'm the boss. The second bomb added totally unnecessary: And don't dare even to doubt this message. The World Power that got away with this criminal act, at present almost by itself defines terrorism and organizes a war on terrorism.

 

 

Mid 20^th century leading scientists let themselves be used by politics, but to let that happen they first had to become totally disorientated from society.

 

To get them that far it was enough though to give them the opportunity to play well paid their favorite game an important looking top-secret research lab in some far away desert. It's like giving an addicted chess-player the opportunity to play a match.

I know in-depth research is inevitable, but it also generally favors drilling very deep narrow holes at similar kind of indicated places, mainly driven by the hope (!) only of finding oil or whatever on the bottom. Drilling deep and doing general research should be more in balance. But finding oil sooner than others means more research funding to drill even deeper.

In South Africa commercial companies decided to dig for diamonds on 5.000 meters depth. This is to outrun nationalizing plans of their government, but in other African countries they might almost scoop up diamonds without such huge investments. Nationalism is still mighty strong.

Digging deep

We have learned more about brains in the last ten years of our existence than during billions of years in our whole evolution. Still our knowledge stayed very limited. Being an ignorant outsider my model necessarily is mainly a logical view, and not based on any research. That's not being unnecessary modest, because after my university years most sciences rapidly changed for me in impressive cultures of knowledge.

I learned one thing from the crime sequence 'Columbo'. That is that you can't tell much about a profession based on only speech, clothing and habits. That's why something in me waves a red flag when seeing the building of strongholds of science that only squeeze old concepts another time. Such impressive castles become filled with people talking like wizards, and dressed in long white coats or breasted gray costumes. I know all too well that this is no guarantee at all for being fresh and original, just like posing in the posture of the sculpture 'the Thinker' of the famous French artist Rodin is not more than only creating the illusion of deep thinking.

 

 

Consistent use of basic neurological knowledge (this is at present within reach on Internet to everyone with a connected pc) leads in this article to a totally new view on elementary brain neurology. And to a model that uses the basic simplicity that is found in products of by far, far, far the oldest, most reliable, most imaginative and most innovative firm on earth: Evolution Incorporated (mostly just called 'evolution').

I'm aware that not all known knowledge about the brain might match my model. But exactly the ambitious young and fast developing science Neurology taught me that we all mainly see what we WANT TO SEE. When men imagine the silhouette of a sexy female, then in different cultures the perfect shape appears to be quite different. And humans don't appear at all sexy to for instance sharks. These are only observed getting sexually aroused after eating a dead whale, because of feeling sleepy and thus relaxed. I.e. most of our observations are largely fantasies of western human minds. But that means as well that I'm not EASILY convinced by wishful 'contradictory' observations. They might be result of 'hush hush' research that stimulates fantasy.

Knowledge 'closely' related to my model is the forming of ice crystals in 'dendritic' or treelike growth. Only forget about the supposed rigidity of crystalline structures. At high enough temperatures these are like rubber or water. At usual temperatures on the surface of earth brains are like flexible clay. But maybe crystallized deep frozen brains can through super conductivity think much faster, just like nitrogen cooled computers.

Movie analogies for properties of DNA are popular, but in the related area 'brain' not yet on Internet. Yet words taken from movie technology offer strong tools for getting firm grip in this area of knowledge, as I'll show. That's not surprising, because when humans build robots these have a kind of cameras that function as eyes. Cameras are the human fantasy of eyes.

In this article I explore in a structured way the consequences of my brainwave. And I try to trigger discussion by posing that my elementary model quite elegantly explains existing brain knowledge. It is also to my knowledge NOT obviously inconsistent with any known observation about the human brain. I invite everybody to shoot solid holes in my model, not tiny ones but BIG openings.

This can be said of all perceptions, and especially of perceptions making use of abstract concepts. Because abstract concepts are born without necessarily using sense perception, and afterwards particular sense perceptions tend to get used for proof (so it's not the abstract idea but the 'translating' of it into a sense perception that plays 'false'). Abstract views can be bravely defended like a fundamentalist religion WITHIN a system of thought, but outside immediately become relative. That's why education should result in open minded students. But I keep believing in progress through mind shaking explanatory paradigm shifts).
It may seem contradictory, but abstract modeling nevertheless gives a bigger guarantee for a model being grasped, because no 'treacherous' senses are used. That's the danger of models being mainly based on observations with electron microscopes. When such observations have more than one explication then they become very ambiguous.
When abstract models are kept flexible by staying away from becoming 'religions' (like for instance Newtonian science, and at present certain ideas in Neurology), they can be quite useful and might survive a couple of paradigms

Neurons (another name for nerve cells) are cells that carry information in the brain. Neurons have special projections called dendrites and axons. Dendrites receive and bring information to the neuron cell body, in the shape of electrochemical signals. These are combined in the cell body, generating an impulse that travels down the axon. Impulses cause the release of neurotransmitter substances into the synapse. Hundreds to thousands of synapses grow like hairs on dendrites.

For communication between neurons to occur, an electrical impulse (information traveler) must travel down an axon to its information departure terminal. This connects to the arrival terminal of another neuron (through narrow Links thousand times thinner than hairs, and called synapses).
A neuron receives signals from other neurons through branchlike structures called 'dendrites'. Whenever enough messages arrive from neighboring neurons to excite it, a neuron sends an electrical impulse down its trunk-like 'axon'. When the impulse arrives at the end of the axon, it causes little sacs to release chemical messengers
When reaching the end of a synapse Link the information traveler is send into a wider corridor called 'dendrite' towards a huge hall (cell body) that serves as intermediate destination.  Seen through the eyes of such tiny info travelers the brain is like a huge flexible crystal assembled from big octopus-like space stations keeping a distance of say around hundred meters. That's the distance that can be covered by one of their many flexible transport arms called 'axon'.

 

 

Be aware that between the observed object and final information storage all stages are simulated. So be sure that what you see is NOT what you get. The information traveler that finally rests in several sleeping rooms has been divided and 'copied' several times. An occupied chamber makes a copy of the rest of this traveler and like in 'Star Trek' a 'beamed' (telecommunicated) image of this residue appears in the next chamber. You only may hope that assemblage is done properly.

 

3 ways of cultural assembling: dog, cat or mouse

Synapse connections hold two neurons together by linking dendrite to axon, a miniature simulation of the joining of two huge space stations.  

 

 

Every part of the human brain is made of billions of such super tiny octopus resembling space stations. Each of these neurons can have connections to thousands of other neurons. Thus this only half-occupied brain is creating complex communication patterns like in a big town, only much faster. Think of the light pattern made by one of such towns when a slow movie of it is shown at high speed The earth seen at night from space at Christmas is a lot simpler. Top brain surgeons do a job at least as difficult as engineering for NASA.

For you to read this, millions of circuits of such octopus neurons search through their axon arms for related memory information. As known to insiders brain neurons on an individual level create populations or systems, by way of locking one axon through synapses to one dendrite of another neuron

Why pairs of 2 neurons? I realized that most of the human body consists of duo parts. Like lungs, brains, arms, legs etc.

The keyword of this model is: associative behavior

Seen that way, what the philosopher and mathematician Ludwig Wittgenstein named 'a closed circle of thought' can as well be applied to individuals. Then every individual is a closed system of thought.

Differences between 2 persons are much bigger than they commonly think. Two individuals can influence each other only if their 'influence circles' overlap then, but each in the own circle (and off course being mentally 'healthy') is totally independent.

When 2 people become regular partners then when they are in each other's surroundings gradually their 2 circles merge and their reactions get tuned, just like women living in the same house grow together in period.

An amazing phenomenon is that individuals get in some way tuned to their surroundings. Those who are most talented in this on the other side have more difficulty with traveling. That is because those fit for traveling interpret less and fantasize more. I remember that for me a room in a foreign hotel didn't feel much different from my own bedroom. I used it most of the time for fantasizing (planning) and sleeping. And when away in foreign countries I used to just temporarily 'forget' my friends and properties at home. My new friends felt like my only friends. Like in hypnosis a kind of temporarily blocking of certain memories.
That made it easier to make a fresh start. I never felt homesick. In this way new surroundings (cultures) are captured much faster, because flexible and creative brains act as super-senses that assist the basic senses.
More 'sense-rigid' persons zoom in on the differences, and tend more to fighting 'wars on terrorism'.

Associating is like focusing. Try to imagine following. There are 5 pictures of thought with many links. Only 5 links go to the same different picture of thought. Then intuition prefers this picture of thought. In similar way very long preferred paths develop

Sometimes in a flash you realize that others interpret your actions completely in their own way. They feel hurt when you wanted to comfort, they feel ashamed when you feel pride, etc. You chose being with those who make you feel comfortable, those who only need a few words to grasp what you mean. One moment you are 'in love' with some person, and the next moment you feel hatred.

   Cultural baggage: The World seen as a collection of bags

A culture or society (or paradigm) is like a bag full of bulbs. The merging is less tight than in case of regular pair of overlapping circles, but nevertheless it is there. Bulbs that came from other bags but happened to turn up in a for them foreign bag are slowly integrated. For a long time they are loose balls of energy in a bag full of mainly integrated ones.

It's amazing that humans and animals learned to find a way of communicating inside and between cultures. They became complicated ' machines' specialized in handling repetition.

 

Sure there must be mistakes in evolution. It must be a process that moves in zigzag motion, a few steps ahead, a few steps less back again and then anew ahead. But in both directions that can involve millions of years. At the moment humanity seems temporarily to show progression, but be sure that this can be followed by a huge setback.

Are apes really far away from humans? No, after the next ice age they might very well become the dominant species, and treat humans like pets. And Orwell made probable in his novel '1984' that this role it could as well be taken by pigs.

It seems easier to share complete fantasies (constructs of pure thought), than empirical experiences. It may sound strange but pure fantasies seem to leave less room to diverge in mood. They are way closer to the aimed for mood. In sharing fantasies you both try to accomplish the evoked moods, while personal reactions to the same experience may result in totally different moods.

That's the working of stories like fairytales, satires etc. These aim at realizing a certain mix of feelings, instead of hoping that all readers will react exactly the same way to a description of an action.

Let's forget about existing models about the brain. They are way too difficult

Such a Memory Track can store sense information. The more information, the bigger becomes this minute living database. The more info in the movie, the bigger in size the track (but not its duration). Each participating neuron in such a 3-dimensional cycle or Memory Track can store some amount of information, and each Memory Track can instantly grow in number of neurons. Usually such a circuit consists of thousands of neurons in units of two, like a short movie contains many single images. Our senses seem to have a frequency of observing, so every second they send around 50 Sense Photos of sense information.

So it is ESSENTIAL that in my model not a single neuron is the construction unit of the brain, but that role is given to the Tweuron. Like hydrogen consisting of atoms H or molecules H2. And the brain is in my view filled with EMPTY Tweurons (or Neuron²) and further with FULL 1 dimensional Memory Tracks of each 1/50 second duration. Such tracks are continuously fired by every sub-sense.

 

 

An almost impossible to observe phenomenon if you're not particularly searching for it. That common sense observation combined with the also common sense phenomenon 'you'll find what you're looking for' is explanation enough why this wasn't discovered (a culture or paradigm is like looking through your own filter) . Because in the present dominant brain concept such pair forming is just not used and in 'filtered' known research gives no different results.

In a non Christian culture to recognize a man and wife as being married is equally difficult, if you have no gender related concept 'wedding'. Certainly if you don't recognize the concepts 'man' and 'wife' but are used to two-gendered species, or colonies with only one queen.

Chemicals, called 'neurotransmitters', then straight arrive at the dendrite of another neuron (see them as intelligent active passports organizing formalities for their info traveler for its stay in a Memory Track hotel. Such hotels are fully automated, and have no employees). It only takes a smell to make you THINK your friend is near, faking presence of personnel is easy.

That way when the size of an information traveler is to big for the last room in the chosen Memory Track hotel, this hotel immediately grows only one unit of 2 more rooms. All rooms in this hotel chain have a name with in it Neuron. For instance S3-MT1.000.123-Neuron555. I.e. room 555 of Memory Track Hotel-1.000.123 on destination-3 of operator SIGHT.

If the information traveler doesn't fit completely in the hotel, then the last Neuron-room together with the first one 'pulls' an uninhibited nearby pair of Neurons from space in the hotel chain by 'clicking' through synapses axon to the next dendrite, to create more room for this traveler. Like an expending space hotel. The residue of the guest is automatically 'beamed' (telecommunicated) to this brand-new just installed room.

This constitutes the basics of my model, and similarity with the mathematical fractal engine is striking. Such an engine starts with only simple rules in a 'point'. Then an ever more complicate fractal crystal is built and actual growth really speeds up through continuous forming of new crystals.

(1)    An existing crystal is seen as a Memory Track having a closed sequence of possibly thousands of filled neurons,

(2)    Growth of the existing crystal as pulling an adjacent Tweuron into the existing Memory Track. (over and over again). Especially athletes are 'good' in it. This is the relatively long 'absolute' phase.

(3)    Start of building a new crystal as connecting of an existing Memory Track to a distant Memory Track to, by way of an Paradigmal Dimension Link (a sensory pathway). This is the very short 'relative' phase.

Once [the next Tweuron is] attached, different neurotransmitters either trigger "go" signals that allow the message to be passed to the next neuron in the communication line. Until then they produce "stop" signals that prevent the message from being forwarded. The signals are in the form of charged particles or ions.

To make things seemingly more difficult, but in fact much more easy an eye is divided in thousands of facets. Just like in case of a television or computer screen every point transmits only one single color. I.e. it transmits a light wave on a single frequency. Every single facet is connected to the brain. It needs only to store the frequency of its light wave. And its own frequency of emitting takes care that every emitted signal (I think) can be stored in one Neuron.

Imagine that all those signals are stored in 1 Memory Track. Then that track contains a sequentially stored picture of thousands of pixels, and represents sight for 1/50 second. Related tracks might contain information about position of the eyes, focus and all that is needed for interpreting a picture. As we know from spy satellites the making of pictures is not awfully difficult, but it is a hell of a job interpreting them

Humans became in evolution masters in pattern recognition, i.e. given say 5% of thousands of such pixels they can generally already recognize the final result. They often use this ability to prevent becoming tired of processing all visual incoming information. During the process of receiving a picture they soon switch to a known simulation. (or said another way: creates a cartoon of visual surroundings). That must be done in an incredibly fast and sophisticated way. In this way our eyes can concentrate on changes, and absorb info for the next drawing in the cartoon.

A few times they make mistakes, but then they don't even realize it.

Hearing, Feeling, Smell and Taste are similar to sight and create audio pictures, touch pictures,  smell pictures and taste pictures, only the frequencies are different. Audio pictures are used by many fishes, and seem to be more accurate than the visual ones. If you can hear that well, then visual sight is not necessary. Dogs and cats have superb hearing, they can hear and situate digging moles. But when blind even they still are a little handicapped. That indicates that water conveys sound waves better than air, and that many fishes use this advantage.

Dogs prove that smell pictures are amazingly accurate. Taste and Touch pictures seem to take  a closer relation. Especially 'Touch' pictures are in discussion, because these became much used in Asian medicine. Because the frequencies in 'Touch' emotions are very low, they are less accurate than Hearing, Feeling and Smell. Big animals like elephants prove that sounds with low frequencies reach far. Possibly 'Touch' works as well when not touching

That way you might get used to visual presentations of for instance smell emotions. Seeing things like this the remark 'a tasty person' suddenly gets a more 'visual' meaning. Maybe there's a market for taste porn. Only some clients would like to eat the models.

With relatively small jumps (through joined neurons) Memory Tracks can connect to adjacent Memory Tracks of the living database called 'brain'. Bigger jumps are also possible and thus other brain areas can be reached. These bigger jumps use existing  Paradigmal Memory Links.
The third possibility is creating a new Paradigmal Memory Link. I see such actions as flashes of insight that for the first time associate two areas of information.

These flashes start in an empty circuit (tweuron) and make it expand in the direction of the flash for a relatively long interval of time. Only the first and the last neuron in this path survive, thus creating an information corridor that only connects the two information circuits at its two ends.

The neurons in the links that are established during a flash become overheated and lose ability to store info and to make new connections to neighboring neurons. That way a continuous noiseless 'thunderstorm' in the brain (brainstorm) creates continuously passive Paradigmal Dimension Links through lightning like flashes of insight. How is still a mystery (but see for an attempt to logical explanation paragraph 7 of this article).

This was only purely a smart guess, but evident is that knowledge that absolutely could not be related today, suddenly is without any doubt related the next day. Question is only can the speed of deriving such insight be increased by training, chemicals or temperature, or is increasing of insight pure chance? Said another way: is education similar to independent growth of synapses or does education actively trigger creating of Paradigmal Dimension Links, or both?

A brain lobe is a group of neurons that seem to perform in a similar manner. My guess is that each brain lobe is connected to one or more sense organs to treat some part of the sense information. That way they seem to function different but that is only caused by their input. This input may vary in things like frequency and amplitude. Possibly that's the simple way by which senses can filter incoming information.

Obviously during evolution a logical partition of the brain was experimentally found. And also obviously senses have their own frequency, producing a continuous sequence of blocks of information of around 1/40 of a second.  That's why movies with a picture frequency of 50 per second seem completely continuous. All it further takes is some very well possible chemical filtering of the amplitudes.

The continuous overall storm in the brain might be also be seen as 'rythm of the time'. Because different brains of the same age share a lot of filled sense movies, or memories. These experiences may cause a kind of vibes when re-used (remembered). People are equipped to share those vibes. That's what they probably mean when saying of being 'on the same frequency' with someone.

Hemispheres Tasks in the right and left part of the brain are rather independent. Might it be that because there is little or no possibility to link areas on either side with each other? So 'flashes in 'brain storms' seldom cross the natural border in the middle. This split was elegantly used during evolution to keep very different processes away from each other.

Moods , whatever that may be, do exist. It seems like sense experiences being 'translated' into a sense simulation (mix of feelings or mood). The resulting feeling may then trigger responses.

Moods are the subject of Art, artists try with all their power to capture a particular mood. They really deserve more attention in the physical corner of science.

Similarity and uniqueness brains In structure all human brains are similar, but every individual brain is unique. That is consistent with brain flashes occurring between two brain areas mainly by chance, and not much influenced by those areas itself.

Abstract notions in the human mind function similar. An important step in our evolution was that we developed a special part of our brain to store abstract feelings. Possibly before they just got lost. A stone of some shape can trigger the Memory Tracks related to the concept 'rectangular'. Using only ellipsoid and rectangular shapes in this article I made a picture that looks without doubt human.

One can even wonder if this way a brain 'processor' of some kind is really necessary. A mood seems to trigger only certain Memory Tracks and via this circuit others, such a circuit might trigger a part of the body.

Maybe the mood that represents the abstract number 1 triggered the abstract concept behind the making of a number system. If a chameleon could recognize abstract concepts, then it could show different colors related to numbers.

Some people are under hypnosis sensitive for commands. But the clue is here that a lot of humans ARE sensitive for being hypnotized. In that condition they fully simulate reality and that's why they can be brought in a mood to perform seemingly weird commands. But this only shows that their their real surroundings are only a not vere exciting part of their much bigger fantasy world.

hallucination

Narcosis

The gradually disappearing of awareness might be explained by blocking more and more Paradigmal Dimension Links to the Sense Organs. That explains also the often-observed hallucinations, because fantasies replace real sense information.

Narcosis and hypnosis are not more than just forms of sleeping. I.e. by ways involving relaxation blocking most of the continuous stream of 'real' sense information, and going into fantasy mode.

Some performers are known to 'suppress' pain by thinking really hard about something pleasant. That way they don't totally block Dimension Links to their senses, but succeed to disregard all information sent by the pain sensors.

Individual Consciousness

First let me say that Individual Consciousness might be one of the best-succeeded fantasies in Western Rationalism. Different concepts are found in many cultures. As I see it Consciousness ranges from Group Awareness (very dominant) to Prophet 'Seeing' (found in strong examples in around say only 1 out of a million humans). 'Seeing' by some prophet changes in the next Group Awareness. It is the way to ensure progress in evolution by metacultural mutancy, when mutancy within a culture becomes decay.

Intelligence related to SensesThe often-used concept IQ is very limited. It focuses as known on abstract thinking and visual perception. This way it shows a preference for rational scientists and neglects ' feeling' (the ability to translate sense perceptions in other than abstract notions).
Musicians for instance might have a low IQ but excellently be able to handle and use sound emotions. Chimps are known to perform some complex associative tasks better than humans.

Only very few of the people come to realize the web-like invisible structure of any culture. It seems to help when you suffer a severe shock In my case that was a brain attack, leaving me largely disabled. As a former international top-engineer I suddenly arrived in the world of nursing homes.

Even fewer of those people cause a paradigm shift. That takes being persistent and acquiring enough status. Otherwise the result is being ignored or ending in a mental hospital

The way of thinking dating from the old Greek before 17^th century Enlightenment was called 'Imagination' (this almost purely referred to Group Consciousness).

So my opinion is (whatever model of the brain is used) that talking about Individual Consciousness is awfully misleading.

In the hard way I experienced that although there were many shared experiences, I really had arrived in a new world with different rules.

Thoughts that in my former life had been very clever were at once considered nonsense. My experiences in my second study in social sciences helped me to overcome frustrations and survive.

Admiration in my former dominant world was replaced by pity in my new dominant world. People that I formerly used just to ignore, suddenly behaved totally dominant. The gap between these two 'knowledge worlds' within the same culture was much bigger and much more definitive than I had ever realized. But I managed to find my place in both worlds, by adapting me every time to the differing local consciousness. And I realized that most frustration is just coming from refusing to honor the locally dominant rules. It works much better to honor all rules different from yours, but temporarily keep using your own.

During evolution many Paradigmal Dimension Links of different length became 'preformatted' in our DNA.

Maybe dogs can smell the speed of a car through difference in the temperature of gasoline, but for humans that's magic. In the same way dogs can start barking when their boss is still a mile away. They sense something, only humans have no clue yet what that something may be.

Cars drive, and driving means speed. Movement is an abstract concept, and is stored in the most recent constructed storage area of the human brain. To get to this model of movement requires  a long Paradigmal Dimension Link. Such links are made by rare strong brain flashes of insight. But already early in evolution we learned to handle speed, so it is certainly more than only concept. 

A lot of other in length varying connections are made through education at home and in school. The rest is result of exercise through continuous experience (real or simulated). Both education and experience work through repetition.
I myself 'eat' a lot of information on Internet and Discovery Channel. And both sources of knowledge repeat their lessons a lot. 

Short and Long term Memory: A few minutes is the minimum length of time that neuroscientists believe is necessary to allow thought to go from a temporary into a lasting, more easily retrievable memory.

Matter of Experience: Where to store what kind of information is a matter of experience. This practice developed during evolution. Because the formatting of Paradigmal Dimension Links in our DNA slowly developed, and afterward this preformatted infrastructure was extended during life by education and experience.

It is important to realize that our brains this way became very advanced computers constructed in billions of years of evolution using only one kind of 'stones'. These info storage units (neurons) are kept together with some kind of brain soup. And it takes a lifetime to even partly fill its database.
Paradigmal Dimension Links speed up learning. Possibly our far away ancestors need bigger heads.

Reliability first:
Brains develop in young children by usage of a DNA-blueprint. This sort of construction map during evolution slowly but continuously grew and is still growing in complexity.

Neurons don't really 'swim' in 'nerve glue' because most of them are physically locked through connecting axon and dendrite to hundreds of others. Compare such a lock two connecting two spaceships through sucking synapses growing on their telescopic arms called axon. That allows locking to several others, only distance is a limit (axons in our brain seem to be no longer than a few millimeters). The result is flexible brain tissue.

Flexibility: If at very early age parts of the body are missing, I guess the corresponding parts in the brain doesn't develop any further.

When parts of the body for some reason disappear, then the brain first looks for new employment for the now jobless corresponding parts. This relocation of scarce resources may lead to 'ghost-experiences'. These suggest that the 'old' memories were not wiped, but that only empty space was reallocated. Whatever 'controls' the brain is not awfully advanced.

Wisdom or cross-connected info:
Realize that in this model the creation the Paradigmal Dimension Links made of 'neutered' neurons is essential. This facilitates connecting knowledge. A possible concept for neurons to become 'neutered' is that a too big information charge permanently locks neurons to each other and kills all synapses and the possibility to grow new synapses. A lucky shot, leaving a permanent trail like a frozen lightning. 

My guess is that putting more usable info in the brain also increases brainpower (the sum of local brain voltage). A higher local voltage also increases the chance that a lucky lightning in the noiseless brain 'thunderstorm' is attracted. Like in a populated area lightning more often strikes a town region. Maybe such a mind flash that way can be influenced in direction, just like a common lightning prefers high points. Anyway it must be stormy weather in our brains. By destroying all synapses in the chain of neurons of its path such a mind flash creates an Paradigmal Dimension Link.

Learning and cross-connecting
New Paradigmal Dimension Links by associating information increase knowledge. I.e. it increases the possibility of having associative thoughts, and knowledge seems mainly associative. But often dying of existing neurons in circuits happens at greater speed. They die because of never being used. Entering information (or energy pulses) seems to function like putting motor oil in the Memory Tracks. If that doesn't happen in a long time than they simply 'dry out' and die. That doesn't stop the creation of new Paradigmal Dimension Links, but often these processes are in speed in some way correlated.

Using existing brain functions
I presume that aging is a process that follows from a growing neglect of the brains. This neglect is born out of becoming bored, because experiences seem to repeat (not enough Paradigmal Dimension Links were made, to facilitate sensing the developing of new differences). The result is that most elder people tend only to sense what they already know. That indeed is boring.
Expanding experience.
The repetitive part is fit for education by the slower former generation, but coping with increasing speed is learned only by experience. If developing new concepts start appearing weird to you, than it's time to wonder if that's not caused by a starting generation gap. This can be well recognized (for non-musicians) by your growing having-trouble with modern music.
Creating new memory links
Using this view staying 'young' is a matter of keeping the brains being used and growing. That some way sounds quite natural, like staying 'young of mind'. Not a beforehand-lost struggle to keep physically fit, but a continuing effort to keep your brains 'happy'.

Another way of saying that you must keep in pace with the 'rythm of the time'. If you can't than you appear old in behavior to younger people.
Consider when being aged your physical body as a car of a bygone type. A skilled driver (growing fantasy) can compensate its peculiarities, but a poor driver (decreasing fantasy) might get problems. It's easy to become a poor driver because traffic rules (languages) change continuously. Especially older drivers need to practice frequently. Then even with an old car they can take part in traffic (life) for an amazingly long time.
Life is only partly repetitive, and next to that is continuously speeding up.

Dying is inevitable
The continuous struggle to keep your brains fit in the end always is lost. Life outside the body always speeds up faster than inside. Compare it to upgrading an old engine and buying a new one. An old engine may be fit for a very long time. At some moment though you inevitably reach the limits of upgrading your brains, because units in the latest generation of humans (young people) became essentially different.

Rythm of the time Information processing in the brain has traits of a super-fast symphony, when playing or filling the Memory Tracks of a sense movie. It seems music can influence this process. When looking at history, music like a 'rythm of the time' continuously seems to speed up. Classical symphonies in the past in general used to be much slower than modern rap.

Summary

I became convinced that in some form processors are inevitable. But what is needed are much more clever links of information areas than an equivalent of the central processor in a computer. And it beats my mind what rules the working of this brain. Analogy seems to be the driving force.

I also became convinced that only to STORE sense information brains don't need any tool, everything necessary can easily be done in the different senses.

But I'm convinced that the concept 'mood' plays an essential role. If enough Memory Tracks are artificially triggered, then a familiar chain of happenings may occur. The reaction to a particular mood can gradually change though.

Acknowledgement:
As already said I got my knowledge from 'Discovery Channel', and on the web from sites aiming at informing general audience. But that knowledge is quite sufficient to get a quite good overall impression.  What at present is general knowledge, say ten years ago was considered as being highly advanced.

Compare it to using Galileo's view of the world being round, around ten years after he published this in his time challenging idea. In the first half of the 17^th century with this kind of controversial article I would have risked ending on the stakes in name of the Pope.

So I thank millions of scientists over the ages for taming the influence of 'popes'. Otherwise such leaders would probably have forbidden brain surgery.
